Adam Chambers, Ambassador for Community, spoke to club journalists and discussed how important it is to give back to the local community, he said; "It’s very important to stay close to the community and to give our support to local projects. It’s a big thing for us to be involved in.
"We’re lucky in what we do, so the least we can do is give back to the local community. You see the benefits it brings to young and old people so it’s very enjoyable to give your time, and try to help if you can."
